Have out of state fans noticed Dallas games not being televised locally as often?

Since I took the hard-line stance of not renewing Sunday Ticket until D-TV gave me the free rate like all the new customers (D-TV is winning that battle by the way), I have had to watch terrible things like the Commanders vs the Raiders. They didn't even give us Broncos vs Eagles. It was just cruel.

I purchased NFL Game rewind though just to watch Dallas lose to San Diego, so jokes on them.

In Alabama here and the only game I saw was the Giants game and yesterday's 4 quarter meltdown against the Chargers..

NFL is in love with Peyton Manning right now and Pretty sure we'll be on CBS this Sunday.

In New Mexico the past couple of years if the Broncos or Cowboys are on at the same time the game that is shown is the Broncos. It used to be the Cowboys. Got rid of NFL ticket so have to rely on the Cowboy Zone to get a play by play, thanks Clove!

I am in Neb and the only two games we have had here so far were the Hall Of Fame and week one against the Giants. For the most part they been running the Broncos and Vikings games locally. Been listening to the radio feeds on NFL Mobile for the rest of them so far

the nfl is bigger than the cowboys. they don't need us anymore. they have superstars on other teams and marquee franchises that actually win so our "footprint" in the league is shrinking.

Sadly, this absolutely dead on.

Yep. Luckily I have the Sunday Ticket now. (free by getting Direct TV). Yesterday is an example. Typically, the 4PM game yesterday in Albany NY would've been Dallas at SD. But they chose Philly at Denver instead.

I'm in the Albany area also. Good to see a fellow Albanian on here!

I used to find a way to watch all the games, online or whatever.
The past two years I actually hope they're not on locally (NC), less stress, not worth it.

being televised locally as often. I haven't seen a Cowboy game yet. I live in Washington State. A few years ago I dropped the NFL ticket because Dallas was televised nationally so often. Now, I am wondering if other fans are having the same experience?

Living in California I have noticed a dropoff in nationally televised game aswell. Thank goodness foe internet streaming!

Hooters or Crawford Ker's Winghouse here in the local Tampa Area. It's great because I can see hot women and drink my sorrows away...

Problem with that place is they play music the whole game -- at least they did in Orlando when I was there.

Not here in SD. We had the game yesterday (duh) and the week 1 game. So that's 2 out of 4 Cowboys games. The other 2 I watched on Sunday Ticket.

well yeah, you had the national game and your local team. I am noticing that I don't get as many games as I am used to so far. Might have to switch to direct tv again.

I live near Springfield, Mo, and I've gotten every game, including the game coming up against Denver. I have Sunday Ticket, so I feel a little cheated.

It could be a coincidence, but the salary cap in the NFL was put into effect in 1994, and the Cowboys won their last Super Bowl the following year in 1995.

I've just watched the Red Zone channel the last 3 weeks. At least I got to see some of the games. I get DC and Philly channels so I'm assured of at least seeing 4 games a year. lol

Here in Cleveland they have only played the Giants game so far. In years past it seems when I would get the Sunday Ticket all but 3 games were shown locally.
